Okay, I think we're on page 443. Did we finish that? Okay, we're talking about the Millennial House. Yes, the Millennial House of Yahweh in the Kingdom Age. We're talking about the Messianic Kingdom, and we're going to talk about the House of God, the House of Yahweh, where Jesus will sit on David's throne, and we're going to get some eye-opening passages to tell you what's going on during that period of time. In the millennial mountain, it says this on the bottom of page 443. We'll look at Isaiah 2, 2 through 4. Very famous passage, but it is for the millennium, and it says this. And it shall come to pass in the latter days, or the messianic age, okay, that the mountain of Yahweh's house shall be established on the top of the mountains. Let's stop right there. that Yahweh's house shall be established on the top of the mountain. Okay, so what you'll see from other texts is that Jerusalem, the topography and the geography of the world will be changed once Jesus comes back. What happens to Jerusalem is it becomes the highest mountain on planet Earth. Okay? Nothing will be higher than this mountain. This mountain, as you'll see in other passages, it's the tallest mountain on Earth, but it has a flat top. So I don't know if you remember the mountain, there's a mountain, I think in Wyoming, I believe it is, and they use it for close encounters of the third kind. Do you remember that? It's the Devil's Tower? Okay, you ever seen Devil's Tower? Okay, look it up or watch third encounters of the close kind or whatever it is they call. I haven't seen a movie since Jaws, so I don't know what the name of it is. So if you see that mountain, it's a high peak, but then it's a flat top on the top. That's what your picture is of Jerusalem, because it's a city, highest mountain, but on the top it's 50 miles square. So just imagine the highest mountain with a flat 50 mile square top. And on top of that is Jerusalem. And then the millennial kingdom or the millennial temple is right there on the top where Jesus will be. And so this is the mountain that people will have to go to and string to in order to see the Messiah. Now, there's a, if you wanna call a double entendre here or a typological meaning behind it. It no doubt, like we've learned about the Messianic road, it is a real mountain. That's what Jerusalem will be. But it also teaches us a spiritual lesson here. Mountains typically refer to in the Old and New Testament as governments as governments So there's no doubt. It's the highest mountain, but it's also telling you what about the government It is what? The highest government it is God's government, right? So it's a messaging. So this is when Satan fell he wanted to sit on God's throne above all The stars above everything, right? He wanted the highest seat. The highest seat is God's. It's the highest authority. So the typology here, it's a real mountain, but it points to the government of the Messiah being the highest of all governments. And what? The government will be on whose shoulders? His, right? And so this government, the Messianic government, is the highest. Now, there'll be other governments. There'll be Gentile governments, but they're underneath Him. They're all subsidiary of the highest government. Okay, now I'll use that and I want you to interpret a text real quick. Jesus said to the disciples, they came back to him and they said to him, we encountered demons and some of these demons we could exorcise and some of them we couldn't. We don't understand why we couldn't exorcise these demons out of these people. What happened? Yeah, he told them you don't have enough faith. He's come out through prayer, fasting, whatnot, but he gave them a lesson in faith. They didn't have enough faith. Do you remember the parable he gave, or not the parable, but the instruction he gave about what about their faith that they didn't have? He likened it to something, a seed. Right, okay, so now that's the context. He says to them, if you have faith as a mustard seed, You can move mountains, okay? Most people misinterpret that. Remember I told you what mountains mean in the Bible a lot of times. What does mountains mean? Governments, hints, context. They can't exercise demons out of people. He says, boys, if you have enough faith, you can move mountains. You can say to this mountain, it'll go. And you can say to that mountain, it'll go. In context, what he was referring to about the mountains, what governments? What government? The demonic governments, the demonic hierarchy. If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can move governments. The opposition they were having is demonic opposition, the government of Satan, the hierarchy of Satan. So the idea of mountains in that passage has to do with the demonic hierarchy. So they didn't have enough faith to move those demons out of those individuals because they lacked faith. In fact, they didn't do what he told them to do. That was the problem. Okay, so you'll see in the book of Revelation, the woman sits on seven mountains. Have you ever read that passage? And the people will mistake it and say, oh, that must be the Vatican because the Vatican's on seven mountains. And no, no, no, no, it's not. And then I've even heard people say Washington, D.C. because there's seven peaks in Washington, D.C. No, if you follow biblical hermeneutics and you read John, he interprets what the mountains are. The seven mountains are seven kings. That's what he says, right, in Revelation 17? So the theme of mountains a lot of times, you have to look in context what's happening here. It is a real mountain, but it'll point forward to a typological realization called a government. That's what it's pointing to. So in this passage, it is a real mountain, but it's referring to the Messiah's government. In both hands, it's kind of a double entendre if you wanna use it that way. And the Hebrew does that a lot. There's always these double entendres. It means two things sometimes. And shall be exalted above the hills. What would be the hills? The lesser governments, you're right. You got it? And all nations shall flow unto it. All nations shall flow to this government. All nations shall bend the knee to this government. Because there'll be other nations, Gentile nations, right? And many people shall go and say, come ye, and let us go to the mountain of Yahweh, or the government, or to the real mountain where Jesus sits, right? To the house of God of Jacob. And he will what? Teach us his ways. And we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law. Oh, I thought we were under grace. There's law in every dispensation. The law here does not refer to the Mosaic law, it refers to the Messianic laws that will be in place at that period of time. We'll get into that later on, but that's what the law is referring to at that point in biblical history. Yes. No. No. The law of Christ is what we're under now. And that law will render inoperative at the end of the mystery kingdom. which is at the second coming. So once he established the millennial reign, the millennial rule comes because it's a rod of iron rule. And that's a far different law system than the grace law system that we're under. I think someone looked it up. Some one of you guys looked something up and there was like over 1,000 laws, right? That's what some people and theologians have counted in the law of the Messiah. There's probably close to 1,200 something laws Be careful with the websites you look at but I think when you count them up I think you end up with something like that Moses has had 613 while Messiah over 1,200 or close to 1,200 the messianic kingdom There's a lot of laws in there to laws don't save but they tell you how to behave during that period of time Anywho, if we move on, it says, and we will walk his path out of Zion shall go the law and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem. So that's where he rules and reigns on David's throne. Okay. And he will judge between the nations and will decide concerning many peoples. What does this mean that he will judge between the nations and he will decide concerning the peoples? What does that mean? Well, I'll give you an example. The rabbis understood this passage is that they would, anytime they came up to a situation that they didn't know, they would always punt it. And this is how they would punt it. Well, when the Messiah gets here, he'll tell us what to do. Okay, that's usually the rabbinic way of saying, we don't know what this means, and we're gonna wait for Messiah to tell us. Okay, let me give you a real world example of this, because they got this idea from here. Because Messiah will be the one who decides things. He will tell, he will execute judgment and decide between the nations what's right and wrong. There's a situation in chapter, let's see, I can't remember the chapter, but it's in the Gospel of John. Jesus is in the temple and they pick up stones to stone him. And most people miss this. Where would they find stones in a temple just on the ground? Because that temple is ultra clean. There's no gravel, there's no dirt on the ground. There's nothing on the ground. It's clean. If you were to walk on the temple mount in Jesus' day, you're not gonna find trash. But yet, they find stones to pick up to stone him. When you read your Bible, ask yourself, where did they get stones if that place is completely clean? They're what? They brought them with them in their pockets, maybe? They had to go, wait, wait, I'm going on the theme though. The theme is when Messiah gets here, he'll tell us what to do. So no one knows where those rocks came from. Okay, let me tell you where the rocks came from. When Antiochus Epiphanes, Came through he was a Greek remember that Daniel predicted him. He is a Antichrist type Okay, he went and desecrated the temple, and then he had the Maccabean revolt against him, right? Okay, and the Maccabeans won. They got the temple back, and that created Hanukkah. Remember, the Festival of Lights? Because the oil that they had was only enough for one day, it lasted seven days, Hanukkah comes out of the Maccabean revolt. Okay, but Antiochus Epiphanes goes in there, and you know what he did. He slaughtered a pig in the temple, right? Desecrated it. He desecrated the altar. So the Jews, after it was all said and done, the Maccabeans and the priests there, they didn't know what to do with the altar because he had desecrated it. So they had to get rid of that altar because it was desecrated, but they didn't know what to do with the altar rocks that built the altar. So they piled the rocks up on the temple mount on the south, Eastern side of the Temple Mount and they were all there and What the rabbis had said is when Messiah gets here. He'll tell us what to do with the rocks No joke man because they didn't know what to do because those rocks that altar had been consecrated by Solomon and And they're like, it's been dedicated to the Lord. We just can't take those rocks and then throw them off the side of the cliff because they were set apart for Yahweh. Yes, they've been desecrated, but what do we do with desecrated rocks that were originally to honor Yahweh and the altar? So they put them in the corner and said, when Messiah gets here, he'll tell us what to do with the rocks. And what happened? The very rocks that they're waiting for Messiah to tell them to do with is the ones they picked up to try to kill the Messiah. I find that ironic. Isn't that crazy? They had waited hundreds of years for the Messiah to tell them what to do with the rocks. Instead of letting them tell him what to do, they picked them up to try to kill him. Oy vey is what you get out of that. It's like, wow, man, wow. But that's what they would do with this. Okay, so when you read a passage like this, it tells them that the Messiah will be able to judge between the nations right and wrong and tell them people what to do. And the result of this will be what? They will beat their swords into plowshares, their spears into pruning hooks. Nations shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore. Because Messiah will be there on the messianic kingdom, he will tell nations what to do when they have disputes. There's gonna be disputes in the messianic kingdom, it's not heaven. There's going to be disputes between nations. Those nations' representatives will go before Jesus, and Jesus will tell them what the issue is. And He will divide out His counsel and do it in fairness and justice and righteousness, and everyone goes home in peace and shalom, because Messiah will settle cases. It's a picture of what Solomon was doing when the two women came with the baby, and each one was claiming ownership of the baby. Do you remember that? Split the baby, right? Because they cut the baby down the middle. Right? And then one of them, the real mom, said, no, don't do that. That was the real mom. So that wisdom that you saw with Solomon and able to decide cases that were brought before him is what Messiah will be able to do during the millennial kingdom. Cases will be brought to him between nations and he'll decide it and that will go and give shalom out, okay, to the whole world. And it will constantly be like that, that interchange with Messiah. Okay, but there's a principle here. And I think you all understand it, that okay, of course, Jesus is here and he can, if you and I came with a dispute between ourselves to him, he could easily solve it and say, this is the problem, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, because he's God. But here's the principle, you can't have shalom unless you have truth. You can't have shalom, peace, unless you have truth. So many people want to try to have peace in their family, want to have peace here, peace there, peace in the Middle East. And we see even Jared Kushner trying to go and have a peaceful solution between Israel and the Palestinians, and it's gonna be a nightmare because it's gonna tell them to take down their walls apparently, which Israel's not going to do, by the way. Think about this on an Israel-Palestinian level, and then you can bring it into your own home, into your own house. How in the world is Israel gonna deal with terrorist groups that say they wanna kill every Jew on the planet? How do you have peace with that? Or am I to do it, if I'm Jared Kushner, if you're Jared Kushner, I go into that situation, do I really think, hey man, these Palestinian leaders, Hamas, they're just good guys. You just gotta hear them out. I am sure if we serve them some coffee and some Bundt cake from that Bundt place in Bakersfield, that they'll be fine. They'll be fine. We just need to listen to them. Does anyone really think that? Does Jared Kushner think that he can deal with Hamas? No, I don't really think he does. I don't know. I don't know what the guy thinks. But as you know, how are you gonna do a deal with the devil when someone doesn't play by the truth? The truth of the matter is the Palestinians are controlled by terrorists. I don't know how you do a deal with them. But anyway, okay, because you have to have truth, right? You have to have truth in these situations. Okay, so I'll bring it down to our level. We can see what Messiah's gonna do. So many people in their families pretend that, you know, we just wanna get along, guys. We just wanna get along. We wanna have Christmas and our Easter's coming up or whatever. And guys, we just wanna get along. So you don't open your mouth to Uncle Mel, okay? Because we all know the elephant in the room about Uncle Mel, but we just wanna have a peaceful Thanksgiving or Christmas or Easter or whatever it is, so keep your mouth shut. How do you have that kind of, is that a real peace? Then why do people attempt it? Why are people trying to attempt a false peace? You see the false peace in the Middle East, it's not gonna work, you already know that. So bring it back home and think, why are we trying to do false pieces with people in our family that you know they just won't work? Their brains need to be rewired, some of them. Some of them have been brainwashed. And I'm gonna sit and pretend that everything's okay. You will never get past the principle of this passage. The only reason shalom is happening between nations is when Messiah is dealing in truth and righteousness. And everyone's obeying him, and he's forcing it through the rod of iron. Now you can't force it because we're not in the messianic kingdom. But at the end of the day, the scripture says live peaceable with people as much as it is possible, as much as it is in your power. And I'm gonna tell you what, it may not be in your power to live peaceable with some people. You may try, but some people are like porcupines, man. You try to get close and try to give them a big fat hug and those quills come out and they stick you every time you get close. Because at the end of the day, that porcupine doesn't want to deal with truth. Until the person is willing to deal with truth, you will not have shalom with them. You will have a wedge. And you can pretend all you want, but who wants to keep doing that? Doesn't that get old after a while? And I just, I put that out there because You have to have Jesus in the mix. You have to have truth in the mix. And if you don't have that, you're wasting your time. You really are wasting your time. Anyway, let's move on. Let's go to Isaiah 27, verse 13. And it shall come to pass in that day that a great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come that were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and they that were outcasts in the land of Egypt. And they shall worship Yahweh in the holy mountain, at Jerusalem. So the idea is that Israel has been scattered. Now they're worshiping, this is Jewish worship, in the mountain of Jerusalem at the Millennial Temple. Okay, question. And I want you to keep this in the back of your mind. Why do we need another temple? I thought now in the church age, in the mystery kingdom age, the body is the temple. I thought we have progressed past a building to a body. Didn't the Apostle Paul say, we're now the new temple? And that the Holy Spirit indwells us, the Shekinah's inside of us? Why do we go back to a temple? Right, the Tribulation Temple. Yeah. Markon or whatever. Clinton? Kirchner? No, just kidding. So yeah, you have the Tribulation Temple, so then you have the Messianic Temple, the Millennial Temple that Ezekiel talks about. What lesson is that trying to teach the Jews? Or all the Gentiles? I want you to hold on to that thought. Because it's continuing to show you that in order to worship Jesus, you have to go to the mountain. You have to go there during the Messianic Age. But that seems counterintuitive to what you know, what he told the woman at the well. What did he say to her, the Samaritan woman, do you remember? Woman, the day will come when you shall worship God in spirit, neither in this place or in Jerusalem, but you shall worship God in spirit and in truth, right? Basically the idea is that we can worship God anywhere we stand, that's the idea. But it seems like we go backwards a little bit in the messianic age. Why? Manny, and then we'll go to Lupe. You're onto something. So David wouldn't build the temple. Solomon would. Solomon points to the Messiah building the temple. So you're onto something. You're onto something. So keep that train of thought. Yes, they look backwards, and like Tom mentioned that a couple weeks ago, that the whole Millennial Temple is looking backwards. Who needs a temple? If during that age, if you're born again, obviously the Holy Spirit would live inside of you because of the New Covenant. If the New Covenant is in effect, why do we need a temple in the Messianic Age? I want you to hold that thought, because I'm gonna come back to that, because that question's going to have to be answered by you, and you're gonna have to know the answer to that. There is a theological reason for a Millennial Temple, even though, even at that period of time, the people there will possess the Holy Spirit. He will indwell them because of the New Covenant, permanently, and their bodies will be a temple unto themselves, in that sense. But yet, there's still a Millennial Temple. It's connected to the Jews. That's the hint I'm gonna give you. It's connected to the Jews. Okay. Let's move on real quick. Isaiah 56, six through eight. Also the foreigner that joins them to Yahweh to minister unto him and to love the name of Yahweh, to be his servants, everyone that keeps the Sabbath from profaning it. Yeah, the Sabbath will be kept in the millennial kingdom, by the way. Right now, what's the rule on the Sabbath? You can do it if you want, or you don't have to. You're free to keep it, you're free not to keep it, under the law of Messiah. In the millennial reign, you're keeping the Sabbath. That's different. Everybody. Now, you and I are exempt from that because we're not mortal. We're immortal, so that doesn't apply to immortals, but for the Messianic age, there's feasts that must be observed. I'm trying to go off the top of my head. There's three feasts that will be observed. The other feasts are not observed. I know Tabernacles is kept, Passover is kept, and I believe Pentecost is kept, I think. I know two of them are three, but the other ones are not. There's no Feast of Trumpets. There's no Yom Kippur. The only fall feast is Tabernacles that's kept. And then I think it's Passover and Pentecost that's kept during the millennial reign. We'll get more into that. But yeah, so to your point, Sandy, for instance, if you read in Zechariah 14, some Egyptians decide that they're gonna sit this one out and not go to the Feast of Tabernacles. And guess what happens? They get hammered. by Messiah. So yes, Jew and Gentile will have to keep the feast, Shabbat, everything. It's not mosaic because if it was mosaic, you'd have to keep all seven, but it's different. It's different, definitely different, but the link to all of this, I know it seems confusing because we're in the church age, but it's for the Jews. Okay, it's for the Jews. Anyway, even then I will bring to my holy mountain and make them joyful in my house of prayer. I think I've heard that somewhere. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifice shall be accepted upon my altar for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples. The Lord Yahweh who gathers the outcasts of Israel says, yet I will gather others to him besides his own that are gathered. So talking about Jew and Gentile and the temple of the Messiah being called the house of prayer. I think I heard that said somewhere else. Have you not? And where did you hear someone say that before? Messiah said it. It was in the temple, right? And what did he say about the money changers? my house will be the house of prayer. And as you can see, he's quoting this passage. It's a millennial passage, by the way. And because future Messiah will ensure that it will be a house of prayer because he rules the house, right? Not the Pharisees, not the Sadducees, not the temple guards. He will rule the house and he will ensure both Jew and Gentile have access and prayer on the temple grounds. But in Jesus' day, what was happening? Ananias, The high priest was there, then Caiaphas took over. They had a money laundering scheme like you have never seen before. They were making more money than Joel Osteen or Rick Warren put together. I mean, big money. And most people don't realize that. They had a big network of money. The temple had so much money in it, it was unbelievable. Unbelievable how much money. That's why when the Romans got there, they took all that money and they took it back to Caesar and they were aghast of how much money they had taken out of that. They took the menorah, by the way. It took a lot of the furnishings of the temple, the Romans did, and it took them back to Rome. It is believed, believe it or not, that the Jewish menorah sits in the Vatican somewhere in a vault. Maybe, maybe not. But the theory is, if you go to the Arch of Triumph in Rome, The last picture of what the Jewish menorah looked like in the temple is etched on the Arch of Triumph. You can look it up and Google it. If you've ever been to Rome, you've seen that arch. The menorah is shown on the arch as them carrying part of the goods back to Rome after 70 AD. So somebody saw the menorah and etched it in that Roman arch. as part of the articles that they brought back. So there's a theory there that the Vatican has the Jewish menorah. Yes, a lot of other things that they probably don't ever want you to know is in there. It's a lot of bad stuff. Hey, but check this out. I think this is an interesting theory. Let's pretend the theory is correct. Let's pretend the Vatican does have the Jewish menorah that came out of the temple in 70 AD. Again, we don't know, but why was it on the Arch of Triumph, you know? It's odd. Someone must have sought to do that, okay? So let's say the Pope is the false prophet, okay? Let's just go with that theory. He's a real good candidate. If not, this is a very good dry run. This is a very good dry run with what the Pope is doing. What would happen if we were raptured and all that stuff, we're gone and all that stuff and we're back in heaven and everything. The Vatican is promoting this new guy. And he's awesome, man. He has all the solutions. He's a man with a plan. He's the guy, and he's the one that's gonna bring peace to the entire world. And so the false prophet, with the Vatican's power and money behind him, said, man, this is our guy. This is who we're looking forward to. And they cut this deal with the Jews and said, you know, we're gonna let you rebuild your temple. And by the way, look what we found here. We'll give you back your Jewish menorah that comes from the second temple era. If you will just cut a deal with this guy. We'll let you rebuild and here's your menorah back. In fact, we don't just have the menorah, we have the table of showbread with us too. And we have all the other artifacts. We'll give them back to you. Just do a deal with him. I don't know. It's an interesting theory. But I could see that happening. The Jews want this house of prayer back. It will not be a house of prayer. It will be a death sentence for them if they build this tribulation temple. It will not be a house. Only Messiah's temple is the house of prayer.
